Welcome!

On behalf of our students, staff, and faculty, I would like to welcome you to the College of Arts and Sciences. For many years, CAS has been committed to offer programs that are cutting-edge, practical, and grounded on deep consideration of what it means to be a competent person. It envisions itself to be a leading center of excellence in the arts and sciences and a partner in research and development.

CAS is not just a service college of the university but it also offers undergraduate and graduate school programs, namely: AB in English Language, BS in Math, BS in Statistics, BS in Biology which are accredited by the Accrediting Association of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), AB in Literature, MEng in Applied Linguistics, MS in Math and MS in Biology.

Our goal is to educate the students not just to teach them. We believe we have a clear responsibility to fully educate our students for them to be successful in a changing world. We want our students to find their passion and to embrace the breadth that the College has to offer, to equip them with skills necessary for global competence.

We want our students to gain a greater understanding of themselves, as well as respect and appreciation for others.  If you have questions as to the college programs, feel free to browse this website or contact us.
